Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLMENOAPNNQKRSTNUVW XYZNA2UB2C2AWith what a glory comes and goes the year | A |
The buds of spring those beautiful harbingers | B |
Of sunny skies and cloudless times enjoy | C |
Life's newness and earth's garniture spread out | D |
And when the silver habit of the clouds | E |
Comes down upon the autumn sun and with | F |
A sober gladness the old year takes up | G |
His bright inheritance of golden fruits | H |
A pomp and pageant fill the splendid scene | I |
- | |
There is a beautiful spirit breathing now | J |
Its mellow richness on the clustered trees | K |
And from a beaker full of richest dyes | L |
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods | M |
And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds | E |
Morn on the mountain like a summer bird | N |
Lifts up her purple wing and in the vales | O |
The gentle wind a sweet and passionate wooer | A |
Kisses the blushing leaf and stirs up life | P |
Within the solemn woods of ash deep crimsoned | N |
And silver beech and maple yellow leaved | N |
Where Autumn like a faint old man sits down | Q |
By the wayside a weary Through the trees | K |
The golden robin moves The purple finch | R |
That on wild cherry and red cedar feeds | S |
A winter bird comes with its plaintive whistle | T |
And pecks by the witch hazel whilst aloud | N |
From cottage roofs the warbling blue bird sings | U |
And merrily with oft repeated stroke | V |
Sounds from the threshing floor the busy flail | W |
- | |
O what a glory doth this world put on | X |
For him who with a fervent heart goes forth | Y |
Under the bright and glorious sky and looks | Z |
On duties well performed and days well spent | N |
For him the wind ay and the yellow leaves | A2 |
Shall have a voice and give him eloquent teachings | U |
He shall so hear the solemn hymn that Death | B2 |
Has lifted up for all that he shall go | C2 |
To his long resting place without a tear | A |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
